Minuteman 1 ICBM Air Launch

[Rickshaw]

The VB-10, VB-11, and VB-12 used a circular airfoil and were fitted with TV, infrared, and radio command guidance systems respectively.

The "VB-13", known as "TARZON" and later redesignated "ASM-A-1", was the only one of these later VB weapons to actually see action. It was a monster, a modified license-built British Tallboy deep-penetration bomb weighing 5.44 tonnes (12,000 pounds) and 6.4 meters (21 feet) long. It had a circular forward wing and a box tail, with four rudders on fins within the tail. It was, like the German glide bombs, radio-controlled and had a flare on its tail for optical tracking.

ATTENTION BRIAN ......
in addition to the Allied radio-controlled bombs & drones of WW1 I've come across a reference to an experimental wire guided Siemens-Schuckert glider-bomb to be launched from Zeppelins in WW1.

The multi-platform "YJ-21" hypersonic missile as shown in the latest edition of "Naval and Merchant Ships", the most authoritative Chinese naval news magazine. Look at the size of it compared to the bomber.
